World Clock
Time in Norway
Shown above is the current time across Norway, alongside the time zone Norway keeps and the live local time in its main cities.
The whole of Norway runs on a single time, CEST (UTC+2) — so every city listed on this page reads exactly the same clock.
Norway does move its clocks for part of the year. The next change lands on 25 October 2026 — and because of it, the gap between Norway and any country that stays on one fixed offset all year shifts by an hour on that date.
